The DUKE of YORK in the NEW FOREST. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, ac companied by Mr. W. Lake, arrived on Monday last, at Broadlands, Lord Palmer ton's seat, near Rumsey, where his Royal Highness was met by a large patty to dinner. On Tuesday, he took an airing in the Forest, accompanied by the Fad of Cavan, who came over front Engleburst, Lord Palmerston and Mr. Lake, when his Royal High ness was in excellent health and spirits, and ex pressed his delight at thebeautiful woodland scenes, through which he passed. At Paultons, the seat of H. Sloane, Esq. he met a large party, at dinner, whence he returned to Lord Palmerston's. On Wednesday, his Royal Highness, accompa nied as before, with the addition of Mr. Sloane, arrived at Cadnam Oak, (the nearest boundary of the New Forest to Broadlands) where he was met by most of the Gentlemen of the Forest and neigh hood, as well as by all the forest-officers, keepers, &c. in their proper dresses. There a rural proces sion was formed, which it was charming to see mov ing through the stately alleys of the Forest to the King's house, at Lyndhurst. The party took Ge neral ‘Vyoyard's Manor-house, and several other places, on their way. At five oclock, his Royal Highness held a Levee in the King's House, which was numerously attended. Afterwards, his Royal Highness did the mem bers of the New Forest Httnt the honour of din ing with them, at Lyndhurst, w'ere a sumptuous entertainment was provided on the occasion. the persons who had the honour of having been presented, were of the company, as well as seve ral other Members of the Hunt. The Chair was taken at seven o'clock precisely by the Earl of Cavan, who was ably 961)0E11A by Lord Palmer ston, as Deputy. At eleven, his Royal Highness left the room, and returned to town in his travel ling carriage, aecompa:iied by Mr. W. Lake. TklE PARKS The Public, no doubt,' will be much gratified in finding that the attention of the Rangers of St. James's and the Green Parks is directed to the laudable purpose of cleansing them of the various nuisances with which they abound. Formerly those delightful scenes, aptly denominated the lungs of the Metropolis, were comparatively free front the presence of improper persons, who could shock the ear of modesty by indectlit language, or offend the eye by their squalid and disgusting appearance. The most modest and elegant fe male of the west end of the town there took her morning or evening promenade, without purchas- . ing health at the expenee of wounded delicacy or insulted feeling. The Green Park, particularly,- boasted treednm from the intrusion of improper characters ; the Queen's walk was a sot of sacred ground, free trout all pollution ; chilnren, accompanied by their. 'servants, and valetudi• narians of both sexes, were its: chief visitor• ; but of late the scene has been greatly deterio rated. Young men may be seen in the even ing bathing in Rosamond's pond, • close to which is one of the most interesting and retired walks ; beggars stand .porters at he gates, solicit charity as the price of admission ; and the interior is strewed over with sleeping v4grants of every age, sex, and description. The etitt BUM from St. James's Place, which was formerly quite private, and (like that. of Park Place) for. the exclusive convenience of the inhabitants, is now become the• greatest nuisance in the whole of the Green Park, being almost constantly crowded by wretches of the most obnoxions descript ion, and in consequence . so intolerably filthy that persons genteelly dressed, or in any degree possessing the sense of smelling, can no longer venture to pass that way. The remedy for this would be very easy, by keeping closed the door in St. James's Place, the inhabi tants of which have keys, and basing a gate at the extremity of rue iron-railing in the Park, in the same manner as it is at present at the extre mity of the Park Place entrance. In consequence of the various existing nuisances, the Parks have lost a great deal of their attraction ; and are no longer the inviting and grateful scene which they formerly presented. The Pagoda Bridge in St.Jatnes's Pail( has-also become highly objectionable ; for by facilitating the connec tion with some of the meanest and worst parts of the town, it has served materially to increase and .continue the evil. We therefore hope that no attempt will he made to rebuild the present structure, already far advanced in decay. By in tersecting St. James's Park it impairs its grandeur, and reduces the beauty and extent of the view.-- This in itself would be a sufficient objection to its continuance, but the moral evil which it contri butes to entail upon society constitutes our prin cipal objection; and will we hope and trust have due weight in those quarters from whence alone effectual remedy can proceed. The Grand Duke MICHAEL, attended by Baron -NICOLAY, Sir W. CONGHEVE, General PASKEE VETCH, General KLEDENSKY, Dr. MICHAELOI,F exy, and Dr. HAMEL, arrived at Birtninfijiam on Monday evening. The next morning they visited Mr. THOMASON'S establishment, at which mann factory they remained until four o'clock, witness ing, with the highest gratification, the numerous chymicat and mechanical processes for which it is so eminently distinguished. Yesterday, at three o'clock, the Sheriffs of Lon don and Middlesex, with the City Remembrance'', waited upon the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton house, to take his Royal Highness's commands whew be would be pleased !o receive the Ad dresses of the Corpora ion of the City of London, upon the marriage of the Dukes of CLARENCE and KENT, when the REGENT was pleased to appoint Monday, at three o'clock. It is understood the Royal Dukes and Duchesses will receive the Ad dresses on the same day. Yesterday Mr. MAIiItYAT'S elegant villa and grounds, at Wimbledon, were thrown open to the I►nblic : the conservatory was fit red op as a hazanr, fur the sale of various ornamental works, filmic by the Ladies of the neighbourhood, and sold for the benefit of the boys' and girls'. schools Hof Wimbledon.. The dairy was filled with fruit and other refreshments. The handsome suite of rooms on the ground-floor were thrown open to the company, which was at .once numerous and klect, . M. COMPTE. This Gentleman, who has distinguished himself so much by his extraordinary powers in France as to have been appointed Physician to the KING, has recently arrived in London, and we under• stand that he is to have the honour of displaying his skill before the PRINCE I(rtGaNT. Ile is said to be the most extraordinary Ventriloquist ever heard of, and from the specimen we witnessed, we can little wonder at his reputation. But it seems that his skill in deceptio visas or legerdemain, which terms, however, afford 'no adequate notion of his dexterity, and the wonderful illusions he produces, far surpass any thing of the kind that has hitherto been known. Indeed he appears to have formed the art upon scientific principles, which are so certain in their effects, that in a less enlightened state of society he would probably have been devoted to tortures •and death as a Ma gician. As a proof of his skill we mention the following little anecdote, as related in a French work entitled, L'Hermite de la Chaussi d'Autin:— " Being on a journey, and followed by a peasant mounted on an ass, the animal suddenly cried out, as loud as ass e'er brayed, Get off, get off I've carried yon far enough; it is now your turn to carry me.' Ishe countryman immediately dis mounted, and ran away as fast as his legs could carry .him, crying out that his ass was possessed of a devil." Such is the power of M. Cowrs as • Ventriloquist. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JuLY 93. STACK, HULL, AND OTHERS, V. THE MARQMS OF HASTINGS, EVANS, CARRAGE, AND OTHERS. Sir S. Romx LLY stated, this was an application of the plaintiffs o4„behalf of themselves and the other judgment creditors of the Marquis of Hast kgs, praying that the defendants, Evans and Car rage, the Trustees of the Marquis to carry into effect an Acr of Parliament for the sale of certain estates which belonged to the Marchioness of Hastings, as Countess of Loudon, and which she had given up for the payment of the Noble Mar quis's bond and judgment debts, might be ordered to pay into Court the sum of 84301. which they had received as part of the proceeds of the sale. There was an application made some time back to the Court, when the defendants, the Trustees, were ordered to go before the Master and account, and a schedule was made, and there only appeared a balance of 5001. as being in the hands of the Trustees. The plaintiffs, however, objected to several items of the account, which the defendant, Evans, had charged as bills of costs due to him self, and many of them after the present bill was filed in the year 1815, which he was not autho rised to do, as it was the intention of the Act of Parliament, and of the Deed of Trust, that only the bond and judgment creditors should be paid out of the proceeds of the estates. Therefore the Trustees were hound to pay into Court all sums of money they had received since the filing the bill, which amounted to 84001. 'The Lone CHANCRLLOR.—" Go on with this motion to-morrow." His Lordship rose at three o'clock, and on his rising observed, he should not be able to sit at nine o'clock to-morrow (this day), but he would at the usual Ipiur, ten o'clock. PRICE OF A PIG.--A Fr eeholder, whilst look ing at his two pigs that were grunting before his cottage door, was asked by an electioneering agent, who happened to be upon the spot, if he would sell the pigs ? the man replied in the nega tive, observing, that " wife would not part w•i' pigs on any account." " But," said the man of business, " they are beautiful animals, and I don't- care if I give you 50 guineas for one of them."—" Eh !" exclaimed Hodge, stretching his delighted car forward with great eagerness." —' I'll give you 50 guineas for one of them," again repeated 'he buyer, —The Freeholder scratching his head and smiling, " Oh !--►ye !" looking hint earnestly in the face, " pigs like them are worth 50 guineas, aren't they ?"—" 0 yes!" replied the welcome visitor, " they're cheap at 50 guineas."—The Freeholder having smelled the rat sufficiently, did not hesitate to pocket the affront, •exclaiming with smothered exultation, " the pig is thine, the gold is mine !" The agent now, of coarse, considering his If tend's vote quite certain►, deemed it unnecessary to ask him for if b u t thought he would, on parting, merely give him a delicate hint, observing, " you have a vote— you'll vote for ---1"—" Eli ?" replied the Elec►or, pretending to be deaf.—" You have a vote—a vote," resumed the gnerist rather sternly. —" Di ! !" returned Hodge; " yes, I've a vote."—" Then,'" said the other, " you'll give it to the -----s "—The farmer, heaving out a whistle of astonishment, and with the gesture of a Grimaldi, exclaimed—" I'd rather sell t'other ! !" The fleet under Admiral HALLoweLL, which l►ds been for nearly two months on a eruize, principally for the purpose of exercising the men on hoard, is to return home the end of this month. A letter, dated from on board the Lee, 20 gun ship, in the latitude of the Western Islands, states, that this vessel, with all the other ships in company, would reach the Channel on the 25th of July. No vessels from the Mediter ranean had been allowed to have communication with the fleet, lest it should be infected with the plague. Miss SOMERVILLE'S benefit, at Birmingham, was a bumper, and she has arranged to play for the benefit of the general hospital there, for whicl► site has received the acknowledgments of the Committee through the President, R.. RABONE, Es(l. She finished at Leamington, on Saturday, with her benefit, which was a crowded one. Mrs. SIDDONS was present, who is on a visit to Mr. GREATHEAD'S, near Warwick. Yesterday morning a patty of young men, who had hired a boat fur a days' pleasure on the Thames, when rowing off the Tower, by their unskilfulness upset the boat, and all were preci pitated into the water ; several boats put off to their assistance, and succeeded in picking np four; two swam to shore, but a young man of the name of Taylor was drowned ; his body was found about three Lours afterwards. DISTRESSING SUFFOCATION. Wednesd a y l ast , an Invest was held at Wool wich. before Mr. CARTTAR, one of the Coroners for Kent, on view of the bodies of John Wright, John Donovan, and Hugh Jenkins, who were suffocated in a privy on the preceding night. Richard Kingsland said, that on the preceding night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, he wag assisting Hogh Jenkins, John Donovan, John Wright, and several others, in emptying . the from the privy of the house occupied by the Master- Attendant in the Dock-yard at ‘Voolwich. They had got about ten buckets of the soil out, when - a man of the name of James Brooks, who was in the hole, fell down on the soil, upon which Hugh Jenkins, one of the deceased, called out there was a man down, and Immediately , a ladder was got, and Jenkins wEnt down it to the assist ance of Brooks, when he also tell, and was soon suffocated by the vapour or stench arising from the soil.—Before Jenkins was known to be dead, a man of the name of Isaac Pitcher %vent down to try to assist, when lie also was overpowered by the vapour, anti became insensible. Hereupon John Donovan went down, and the effluvia had the same effect on him ; he tell, and was also suf focated by it. G. Parish, another of the workmen, then went down with the intent of rescuing his fellow-labourers, when he was attacked in the same way, but was caught up by Win. Leman, and saved. Soon afterwards, John Wright, a watch man, whom he had called to assist, being anxious to extricate the five poor men who were then in the hole, went down the ladder, but he was affect ed in the same way, and suffocated. A Man of the name of Denis Daley then ventured down the ladder, when he also tell. By this time several of the yard watchmen had come to their as sistance ; they had plenty of lights, and the bodies of Hugh Jenkins, John Donovan, John Wright, James Brooks, George Pat ish, Isaac Pitcher, and Denis Casey, were taken out of the hole. The first two were found to be dead ; John Wright lived about two hours, and then died, and the remaining four were reco vered by the Surgeon of the Yard and his assist ant. The time that was occupied by this melan choly event was about two hours. The above evi dence was generally confirmed by Lieut. Renwick and Edward Burr. Robert Dunn, surgeon of the Dock-yard, said he was called about - half-past eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, to assist the men ; he found seve ral persons endeavouring to get them out of the hole, and when they were extricated, two of theta were found dead, but White lived about two hours. Witness had no doubt their deaths were occasioned by suffocation from the stagnant va pour.—Verdict, Accidentally smothered by the noxious vapour of the vault. DREADFUL DEATH.—Yesterday, an Inquest was held in Assembly-row, Mile-end, on the body of Wiiliam Hill, aged three years. It appeared, trona the evidence of Jane Monday, servant to Mr. Hill, the deceased's father, and Mr. Edward Castle, surgeon, that in consequence of the pa• rents of the unfortunate deceased having occasion to go into the country, the child was lett entirely to the care of the above female witness, who ge. nerally kept him in the kitchen ; and on Tuesday morning she went up stairs, and left the deceased sitting on her chair in the kitchen ; in a short time after she heard the child cry out " Jane," and his cries led witness to go down stairs as fast as possible, when she found the deceased with h.• mouth burned in a dreadful manner; there was a chair by the side of th 9 dresser, which the de• ceases had managed to climb on, by which means it reached a bottle of vitriol, which Mr. Hill pro• cured for making blacking, and drank a great quantity of it. A surgeon was instantly sent for ; but the child was dead shortly after taking the vitriol. The deceased's inside was burned in a shocking manner.—Verdict, Accidentally poisoned himself. PIGEON SHOOTING. A match for SO guineas a side, and a sweepstakes of 10 guineas each, took place on Wednesday on Cobham Downs, between ffoir gentlemen of Hants and four of Sussex, at seven birds each, from a trap at .11 yards, and the per furor anc.,s, as it will be seen, were of the firsf-rate order. No match ever excited more interest. HANTS. Birda killed. Missed. Mr. Forrester Mr. James 7 Mr. South 7 Mr. Wynn 6 . Total killed 26. SUSSEX. ilird4 killed. Missed. Mr. King Mr. Dodiray 6 0 Mr. Knight Mr. C. Smith The Sussex Gentlemen fired hut six shots, the match being then lost by Mr. C. Smith missing his sixth bird. The gen tlemen are considered the four hest shots in England, on each tide. We regret to state, that Sir ROBERT STEELE met with a serious accident while riding fast is St James's -street, the day before yesterday. His horse slipped off, when passing between a tilbury, in which Captain Cox, of the Life Guards, was driving, and a hackney coach. The tilbury horse trod on Sir ROBERT'S temple, and the chaise much hurt his side : he was carried to a neigh bouring surgeon and copiously bled, and ii) an hour afterwards conveyed home in a coach. We are happy to learn that be is going on favourably. We regret to learn that the typhus has for some time been prevalent in Appin of Argyllshire, and has lately made its appearance on the Locha ber side, where it has already been fatal to many. The inhabitants of the village of Fort William dread its near approach in tile present exces3ively sultry weather.—(Edinburgh Courant ) The increase in the various branches of the Re• venue proves incontestibly the flourishing state of our Commerce; while the peculiar improvement in the Customs evinces the high opinion foteighers entertain of our public spirit, by their avidity to consign the finest flavoured Wines to England, on reading, in the Continental Papers, Mr. CARROLL'S invitation to adventurers to select the choicest Port, Claret, and Madeira, as a zest to the Prizes of Sovereigns in the Lottery, in addition tf) the Two Prizes of 30,0001. and the 16 other Capitals, which may be drawn Next Tuesday, at there are no fixed Prizes, and only 800 Q Ticket*.
